About one-quarter of my way into this book, I decided I didn't like it. The 70 A.D. Roman informer (detective) sounded too much like he belonged in a 1930s mystery. I gave it one more chapter before I quit.

When I looked up several chapters later, I was completely hooked. I finished the book in 24 hours and have the next in the series on request.

This book is best described as light reading for those who enjoy Historical Fiction. This is a detective story written with the Roman Empire as the background. I read it while at the beach and I highly recommend it to others.
